Our Girl is 8 Months Old!

Happy 8 Month Birthday, Grace Calleigh! Our little girl arrived 8 months ago today. It's so hard to believe how fast the time has gone by. What an awesome 8 months it has been :-)

This afternoon Grace and I drove to Waco to spend some time with Nana and Pop-Pop. Tomorrow I'm going to a dear friend's baby shower, so we drove up today to give us more time with my parents. We had a wonderful time together, and Grace has been having a ball with her Nana and Pop-Pop.

Grace has reached a point now where we're starting to see her temper. She can get quite upset with us now when we don't do what she wants -- when we put her down when she wants to be held, when we take something away from her that she's playing with, or just when she feels her voice needs to be heard. As first-time parents, we're trying to figure out how best to deal with these little tantrums.

Tonight my Mom gave Grace two measuring spoons to play with. Grace was holding them, and my Mom took them from her to show her how to make noise by banging them together. Grace got SO mad that she turned red and threw a screaming fit! YIKES! Although I must admit, you want to laugh because even when she's being a pain, she's still cute as a button!
